Chapter 521: The Dust Settles (4)
“No, I won’t take it back since the goods are out!” Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue’s forehead. Why was this head butler so stubborn? Why did the mighty Mystic Sovereign insist on a great mystic like her!
“Hehe, Miss, we don’t have money now, but we’ll return the money to you when we earn it! Erm… we’ll take our leave to earn money first!” Cheng Wu suddenly said, and then pulled the head butler, who was about to continue persuading Leng Ruoxue, away.
“Haha! Xue’er, looks like they’re determined to pester you!” the Head butler and Cheng Wu gloated after leaving.
“Alas!” Leng Ruoxue sighed helplessly, feeling depressed. Didn’t she say it very clearly? Why were they still pestering her?
“Xue’er, actually, it’s not bad to have them as your backing to earn money! Why don’t you consider taking them in?” Empty suggested.
“Let’s discuss again later! I don’t have that idea now,” Leng Ruoxue said.
“Xue’er, we’re back.” Leng Ruohan’s voice sounded from outside the room.
Leng Ruoxue hurriedly stood up and ran out of the room after hearing her brother’s voice.
“Big Brother, you’re finally back.” In the yard, Leng Ruoxue threw herself into Leng Ruohan’s arms, who had just jumped down from Quill’s back, and said worriedly.
“Xue’er, sorry for making you worry,” Leng Ruohan said shyly.
“What’s there to worry about with me around? Alas! I’m so sad. Little Snowy actually doubted my strength. Boohoo…” Icy’s blue eyes welled up with tears as it lay on Quill’s back aggrievedly and looked at Leng Ruoxue.
“Little Icy, how would I dare to doubt your strength? I was just worried!” Leng Ruoxue hurriedly hugged it and coaxed it after hearing Icy’s words.
“I know. Forget it, I forgive you,” Icy said generously.
“Hehe! Thank you, Little Icy,” Leng Ruoxue said happily as she caressed Icy’s head.
“Big Brother, why did you take so long?” Leng Ruoxue looked up and asked in puzzlement. Logically speaking, they should have arrived in two days if Windless City was flying day and night from Myriad Mountain City. However, her brother and the others had actually been there for nearly half a month!
“My spiritual power conversion took a long time, so it took some time,” Leng Ruohan explained.
“Oh, hehe, Big Brother, the longer the spiritual power conversion, the better your aptitude is!” Leng Ruoxue was relieved seeing that the reason why her brother and the others returned late was as they had guessed!
“Alas! I’ve been ignored.” Suddenly, a resentful voice sounded.
Leng Ruoxue looked in the direction of the voice and found a familiar face among Feng Da and the others. She couldn’t help saying in surprise, “Little Lan Lan, why are you here?”
“Can’t I come? Or do you not welcome me? Hmph! Little Snowy, you’re a heartless baddie!” Lan Ming’s bright black eyes looked at Leng Ruoxue resentfully, his handsome face full of grievance.
“Uh! That’s not what I mean. I wanted to say, how did you have the time to come when you’re so busy?” Leng Ruoxue said hurriedly.
“Me? Busy? Very few people in my union convert spiritual power other than you. What do you think I can be busy with?” Lan Ming glared at Leng Ruoxue and asked angrily.
“Uh! You’re the president. There should be many things to settle!” Leng Ruoxue guessed.
“No, I’m very free,” Lan Ming said with certainty.
“Oh, then welcome,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Alas! She really didn’t expect Lan Ming to follow them back. It seemed like she had to welcome him warmly!
“Little Snowy, you left without saying goodbye. You’ve seriously hurt my fragile heart. Tell me, how do you intend to compensate me?” Lan Ming deliberately put on a stern face and said with slight displeasure.
“Why should I compensate you?” Leng Ruoxue asked in puzzlement.
“You left without saying goodbye. Shouldn’t you compensate me?” Lan Ming said matter-of-factly.
“Should we?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the freak with a face full of question marks.
“You shouldn’t. What’s there to compensate for? We’re not very familiar with each other,” the freak said indifferently as if he was talking about someone unrelated.
“You…” Lan Ming was so angry. What kind of person was this? How could there be such a despicable person? He came eagerly, but he actually said that they were not familiar with him. Boohoo…
“Little Lan Lan, didn’t I tell you not to come! Why did you insist on coming? Alas! Great, you must feel bad now!” Icy said very sympathetically.
“You’re all baddies!” Lan Ming roared angrily.
“Little Lan Lan, hehe, we were joking with you. However, forget about the compensation. I don’t have money!” Leng Ruoxue said very stingily. She had so many subordinates. She had to be a miser!
“You don’t have money yet? You’ve earned a lot just from the Lan family’s money!” Lan Ming exposed her!
“I have many subordinates. Look at how many mouths I have to feed!” Leng Ruoxue said bitterly.
“Yes, my young miss is very poor. Alas!” Feng Da said very cooperatively.
“Hmph! You’re all on the same side. Of course you’ll help her.” Lan Ming pouted with great dissatisfaction.
“Of course. Little Lan Lan, since you’re here, stay here for a few days!” Leng Ruoxue said very politely. Uh! At least she thought she was very hospitable!
“Stay for a few days? Of course I have to stay for a few days. Don’t tell me you originally planned to chase me away today?” Lan Ming widened his eyes and said loudly.
“No, no. How can that be!” Leng Ruoxue quickly denied. Hehe, she wouldn’t admit it. In fact, she really had that intention!
“Little Snowy, listen carefully. I plan to stay here for a long time.” Lan Ming revealed his decision. Alas! He kept feeling like something was missing after breaking up with them, so he decided to stay for a few more days to find the reason and see what was going on!
“Welcome,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
Just like that, Lan Ming stayed in the village for a long time…
A month later.
Leng Ruohan and the others had all broken through to elementary mystic…
In the yard at the back of the mountain.
Lan Ming looked at Leng Ruoxue and the others as if they were monsters and couldn’t help saying, “You’re a group of perverts!”
